4.8. INSULATING A WOODEN BEAM
If there is a shelf or beam made of wood or other combustible material
above the hot air outlet opening, it is absolutely necessary to
protect it with panels made of suitable insulating material (e.g.:
calorite). To attach the protection, fix the protective panels to the
underside of the beam using appropriate wood screws (fig.11).
4.9. SUMMARY DIAGRAM FOR OPTIMUM
CONNECTION OF THE INSERT STOVE
The installation described below (fig.12) is the optimum set up for
inserts assembled on old or new fireplaces. The insert must never be
walled up completely but positioned 10mm away from any masonry
surface since it needs to be able to expand when it is hot; furthermore,
if it is walled up there is a significant drop in air circulation around the
stove and the effective output is reduced.
The structure must be insulated thoroughly if there
are parts of the construction in wood or other
flammable material. Observe safe distances to
combustible materials at all times.
